Transformation Protocol: RbCl method

Media and solution

YETM 500mL TFB1 200mL TFB2 200mL
  • 2.5g Yeast Extract
  • 10g Tryptone
  • 5g MgSO4.7H2O
  • Adjust pH to 7.5 with KOH
  • For Plates: add 7.5g of Agar
  • 0.59g KOAc
  • 2.42g RbCl
  • 0.29g CaCl2.2H2O
  • 1.98g MnCl2.4H2O
  • Adjust to pH 5.8 with 0.2 M acetic acid
  • Add dH2O to 200mL
  • Filter sterilize
  • Store refrigerated at 4°C
  • 0.42g MOPS
  • 2.21g CaCl2.2H20
  • 0.24g RbCl
  • 30g Glycerol
  • Adjust to pH 6.5 with KOH
  • Add dH2O to 200mL
  • Filter sterilize
  • Store refrigerated at 4°C

Preparation of Competent Cells

  • 1. Streak cells froms frozen stock onto YETM plate. Incubate overnight at 37°C
  • 2. Pick a single fresh colony to inoculate 5mL of YETM medium. Grow over night at 37°C.
  • Do not vortex cells at any time after this point in the procedure
  • 3. Dilute 1mL of culture into 50mL YETM medium prewarmed to 37°C
    • Grow at 37°C for 2hr with agitation
    • Volumes can be scaled up 5X and all of the 5mL overnight culture can be used
  • 4. Transfer culture to sterile 50 mL tube. Chill on ice/water 10-15 minutes
  • 5. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 2000rpm at 4°C. Immediately aspirate off all of the supernatant
  • Do not allow cells to warm above 4°C at any time in this procedure
  • 6. Resuspend cells in 10mL of ice-cold TFB1 with gentle re-pipetting. Use chilled glass or plastic pipette
  • 7. Incubate cells on ice for 5min
